Honor, Stewardship, Trust

"A President must grace and honor the office, the highest and most powerful office in the world. Our President must honor not just the office, but the people that office serves.

The President must serve this country steadfastly and laudably.

In the end the presidency is more than a simple catalog of policies pursued, crises weathered, battles lost or won.

It's a stewardship and a sacred trust. It’s a commitment to sacrifice every fiber of your being, every thought, every moment, and everything in service to your nation.

Despite the political and philosophical differences in our country, the President who does this well, deserves nothing less than our humble appreciation and heartfelt gratitude.

Our President must strive to be worthy of the example of the great men who have gone before. Presidents walk in the giant footsteps of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and more. They have magnificent legacies to uphold. I pray that our President aspires to their example, and will daily make that sacrifice."
